That could possibly be resolved by using the custom or tar formats.

I don't think this is the right solution to that problem; or at least,
it's not the solution I want personally. I want something like
--function=glob (and yes I do want that same thing for every other
object type, too, but PARTICULARLY for functions). This might be a
next-best solution to that problem, but I'm still holding out for the
home run.
